NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB — Local LLM Performance & Compatibility

Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated September 19, 2026

The 8 GB 4060 Ti. Worth distinguishing from the 16 GB card, which shares the same 288 GB/s but holds twice the model — for local inference the capacity is usually the deciding number, not the speed.
